Was it Oscar? I thought it was one of the back markers that had boxed at some stage.

Might of been stroll after his puncture

I was thinking Stroll or maybe Zhou.

I thought it was Oscar, but I could be wrong. Not 100% certain about it.

If it was a backmarker, then it makes no sense for Mercedes to be taking the point away - as the bonus point is only awarded if the driver finishes in the top-10.

Is the point only for the driver? Or for the team as well?
A team point might be more valuable than a driver point.

Both.

People sign stuff of opposition all the time. In the end the fans just want the signatures

Who cares

peeps who get that he's a paid employee of benz who have stood by him for yonks providing him with top cars that have enabled him to win so many world championships. ordinary on his part, but not surprising.

Does Jack get his seat next year?

 

[gaskin]

It would have to be Jack you would think. I don't think he would still be hanging around if he didn't have some assurances.

As for Ocon, I can't see him getting another seat.

As good of a shot as he will get from what we can see its out of Doohan, Mick Schumacher, Bottas unless Tsunoda is going to Alpine?

I kinda feel for Ocon, because whilst he has a lengthy history of collisions with teammates, they are certainly not all his fault. Unfortunately for him, he's the common denominator, and so he's attracted the wrong of attention. It is said that the decision to leave Alpine was mutual, but it begs the question of where he goes next.

Is he still technically a Mercedes contracted driver ?

Not sure it would be a good idea putting him and George together....

I don't know, but I suspect Mercedes might not want him anyway, he's not been a bad racer, but has he lived up to expectations? Has he done enough to warrant going to a quicker team? I'm not sure he has.

Someone on Reddit said Toto is his manager and if that is the case then he would know straight up if Merc want him or not.

That Charles one is a bit harsh now they have replaced Xavi as his race engineer.

Yeah correct, Toto has been (and still is) Ocons manager since 2015.

Charles they are replacing me question

 

[Skull Face]

Ocons either Williams or Audi he isn't going to Mercedes no one wants him

 

[Barrybran]

I never knew that Toto was also a driver manager

I think he was Stoeffls

Ocon will probably end up at Haas as one of the worst possible mentors to Bearman.

I reckon Yuki will get out of the RB family and go to Alpine. They'd want a harmonious team and Yuki/Pierre have a great relationship. Not to mention he's quick.

I wonder whether Ocon had wind of this before Monaco and that's why he attacked Gasly despite being told not to?

I'm thinking it's a direct result of his actions in Monaco.

Probably. Just think it's bizarre he was given strict instructions and yet couldn't last half a lap without ignoring them haha
